Slow Cooker Orange Chai Semolina Cake

Straight from my new cookbook, Slow-Cooked Vegan! ❤️ Yes, you really can bake a cake in your slow cooker! And this gorgeous Orange Chai Semolina Cake is one of my favourite ways to show just how versatile slow cooking can be. Inspired by the syrup-soaked semolina cakes of the Middle East, with a little masala chai magic, it’s wonderfully soft, fragrant and infused with warming spices and bright, zesty orange. The beauty of making it in the slow cooker is the gentle, moist heat, which creates a beautifully tender cake without even switching on the oven. And the finishing touch? A gorgeous spiced orange syrup that soaks into the cake, adding even more flavour and moisture. It’s surprisingly simple to make, but feels like a really special treat. Absolutely delicious!
